Medicine

Medicine (bêûdo cîgîlsu) is the study of cîgîlsu (sohoû) and the care of the solîlo (body). In Hîsyêô, medicine is a practical discipline of maintenance and repair, guided by Bostet (Care) and Unonsî (Technology).

Core Concepts​

Health is viewed as a state of balance and function within the physical system.
